I'm from Long Island so I'm rooting for them, though I don't like the one album of theirs I got. They're still one of the most influential early hip-hop groups.

They, the Beastie Boys, and Public Enemy helped popularize heavy sampling in hip-hop. Since the latter two are already in the Hall of Fame, so should De La Soul.

Absolutely they should legends and still touring and dropping hits.
Not mention on the soundtrack to the new spiderman movie.

3 Feet High and Rising is my favorite hip hop album as of now. I would like see De La Soul's induction. However, their chance seems to be slim.
